My assessment is that CPS Energy is a siloed company and would benefit from more cross-functional collaboration. If you are a leader, there is plenty of opportunities for you to make a difference.

My experience is that the company is a good place to work. This is evidenced by many employees have worked there 20-30 years. The company is short-staffed in many areas, so workers are expected to work 50-60 hours per week.

all i got to say is stay away from them all they want to do is contract work out and if not one of their favorites they will do what ever it takes to keep you out of there and lot of favoritism the problem is none of the higher ups like the ceo sees or hears what is going on if they did know what was going on in the departments they wolud be disqusted

all the management does is lie they say they are there to help you better yourself when all they are doing is breaking employee morale. They open a door for you then the slam it shut in your face. You can not apply for other jobs from with in you don't qualify even when you are doing the job already. And the HR department picks who gets interviewed for jobs and determines if you meet their standards even though they don't do the job. but if your friend works in HR you qualify. and mess up all you want the will protect you. And if you get hurt on the job watch out they will try to find a way to point the finger at even ifs is their fault. safety department is a joke too. Good luck

For some jobs you have to earn them by time (line of progressions), this allows you to learn many things before intering the job. Other jobs you can apply out, so people with less time can become a forman (boss) of a crew. This makes no sense how can they run a crew when they have no experience of what the other team members actually do and how to do it themselves. With less experience CPS has been having more accidents, just because they want to promote someone they know. Sometimes they promote people based on race 1 white, 1 Mexican, and 1 black so no one can use a race card. Hello, how obvious is that? If they just promoted people based off their proforma cell instead of who they know, CPS work be doing so much better.Then they are so short handed they are working the crew where they r getting overtime in this summer heat. Again, can i say more accidents.

Pros

Has good benefits, and pays decently.

Cons

Short handed, over worked, advancement only if you know someone in the company.
